My stillness is my love for you

My stillness is my love for you

My stillness is my love for you
My muted lips my kiss
My eyes shall be the rose you seek
My emptiness your sky
My stillness is my love for you

My silence is my deepest touch
My absence my clasp
My slowed breaths the passing breeze
My heart-beat your name
My stillness is my love for you

My pulse throbs in marble white
The ground beneath your feet
My loneliness is the gaze of stars
And rustling leaves in dark
My stillness is my love for you

An emptiness is all here is
An emptiness for you
The vast space
Of dark my arms
The rose-hushed breeze my lips

My stillness is my love for you
